  • Valve stem 46 contacts compression spring 44 at contact point 56.

  • Valve stem 46 has an upper portion that protrudes through seal 52 and mounting cup 50, and which is pressed by the consumer to spray the product formulation.
  • Seal 52 is a flexible material that seals the space between mounting cup 50 and valve stem housing 48. Seal 52 is preferably made of rubber or similar flexible material. Seal 52 is preferably shaped as a gasket. A seal between seal 52, valve stem housing 48 and mounting cup 50 occurs by compression during crimping of cup 50. Pressing on valve stem 46 can somewhat deform the gasket-like seal between seal 52 and valve stem housing 48 as well as between seal 52 and mounting cup 50.

  • Aerosol valve 40 has fewer abrupt changes in flow direction, as compared with the flow paths of aerosol valves in the prior art. This reduces the propensity of the solids in the product formulation to agglomerate in the flow paths, by providing fewer loci at which the particles may accumulate, and thereby reduces product failures.

  • % cross section of the flow paths (passageways) versus the full inside diameter of the compression spring coils about 49% of the available cross-section inside of the compression spring coils is divided into the four passageways.
  • FIG. 7A illustrates a view of aerosol valve 40 that shows the position of compression spring 44 in relation to passageways 64, 66, 68, 70.
  • Compression spring 44 is shown in FIG. 7A as fully-compressed (open), as the spring would be when aerosol valve 40 is fully-actuated.

  • Compression spring 44 is shown as fully-compressed in FIG. 8A, as the spring would be when aerosol valve 40 is fully-actuated.
  • FIG. 8B is an identical view to FIG. 8A, but with shading to clearly illustrate these components.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates valve 40 in mid-stroke, which is an intermediate, short-lived position of the valve as the valve transitions from an unactuated (closed) position to its fully-actuated (open) position when the valve stem is pressed by the consumer to spray the product. While the valve is in this intermediate position, the product formulation is propelled upward primarily by primary flow path 60 through the center of compression spring 44. However, in this brief transition time, some of the product formulation is moving around spaces 45 between the coils of compression spring 44 in secondary flow path 62.
  • FIGS. 10 and 1 1 show a cross-section of valve 40 in its fully- actuated position.
  • Valve stem 46 fully compresses compression spring 44, which reduces or eliminates spaces 45 between the coils.
  • primary flow path 60 is shorter and less tortuous as compared with the flow paths in existing aerosol valves (for example, as compared with the primary flow path 30 in the prior art described above). This shorter, less tortuous flow path reduces the likelihood of agglomeration of the solids in the product formulation, and reduces produce failures.
  • valve stem 46 and compression spring 44 when valve 40 is actuated allows very little or none of the product formulation to move upward via secondary flow path 62, which is a path along the outside of compression spring 44 and between the individual coils. Again, this is because there is little or no space between individual coils when the aerosol valve is fully actuated. Since there is much less of the product formulation moving along this longer, tortuous (secondary) route, there is reduced incidence of agglomeration of solids in the flow paths and, consequently, fewer product failures.
  • the product formulation of the present disclosure is a mixture of two types of media, such as a mixture of a powder (solids) and propellant.
  • the word "about” for dimensions, weights, and other measures means a range that is ⁇ 10% of the stated value, more preferably ⁇ 5% of the stated value, and most preferably ⁇ 1 % of the stated value, including all subranges therebetween.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une valve d'aérosol qui présente une géométrie de tige de valve et de ressort de compression qui créent des trajets d'écoulement plus courts, réduisent les changements de direction d'écoulement et créent des passages ayant de grandes sections transversales, afin de réduire la résistance et la contre-pression. La valve d'aérosol réduit à un minimum une agglomération de solides dans les trajets d'écoulement, et réduit des défaillances de produit. L'invention porte également sur un procédé d'utilisation de la valve d'aérosol.
